How To Use WhatsApp Web Client With iPhone

Now that WhatsApp Web Client for iPhone
has finally launched, it is understandable that the service will be an
entirely new experience for most users out there. If you’re an iPhone user and wondering how to use WhatsApp on your PC or Mac, we have you covered right here with our step-by-step guide.
Before you begin, it is important to point out that WhatsApp Web
can be accessed via most web browsers on any desktop platform; Mac OS
X, Windows, and Linux. So without wasting any more time, let get down to
business.Prerequisites:

One of the following browsers installed on your Mac or PC: Chrome, Firefox, Safari, Opera.

Setup and Use WhatsApp Web Client with iPhone:
Step 1: To begin, launch WhatsApp on your iPhone, and tap Settings tab.
Step 2: Now tap WhatsApp Web which should launch a one-time-only QR code scanner.
Step 3: Point the web browser on your Mac or PC to web.whatsapp.com
which should take you to the WhatsApp Web landing page. Simply use the
scanner shown in Step 2 on your phone to scan the QR code shown at the
aforementioned URL.
Once the iPhone processes the QR code, the Web Client will log you
in, presenting you with a rather familiar WhatsApp UI; one that is very
much akin to the mobile version as can be seen in the screenshot below.
You can get started with sending and receiving messages straight
away, including audio, video and photo messages. Messages can be
archived, muted, and pretty much all that you could setup in the mobile
app, can be setup in WhatsApp Web as well.
But how do you get notified if you’re not following the conversation,
while the phone lies out of reach? Luckily, the client offers desktop
alerts for all incoming messages. Below we show you how to enable this
feature.Enable and Configure Desktop Alerts
Step 1: Once you login to WhatsApp Web for the first time, you will
see a blue colored banner right under your WhatsApp profile picture.
Click Turn on desktop notifications.
Step 2: Following the above Step 1, you will be prompted to permit
the web browser to handle incoming notifications and alert you. Hit the Allow button.
Step 3: Now that desktop alerts have been enabled, click the menu-like button next to your profile picture and select Notifications from the drop down menu.
Step 4: Here you can enable or disable Desktop Alerts
altogether. Additionally, if audible alerts are not your cup of tea, you
can disable them, including the option to mute all conversations on
WhatsApp for a pre-defined period of time. It is important to note that
all conversations muted on your iPhone, will remain muted in the Web
Client as well.
Apart from this, if you wish to logout of WhatsApp Web Client
remotely from your iPhone, you can do that as well. Simply
launch WhatsApp on your iPhone, head over to Settings > WhatsApp Web, and tap Log out from all computers.
That’s it! Let us know how it goes for you guys!
